Ideas for a CS Bachelor's Thesis on Ruby?

Heya folks!

I am a computer engineering undergraduate student who is very interested in ruby on rails. I am about to start on my honours year project, and I wonder if you guys have any ideas for me. As ROR is pretty much a development framework, I am not sure how it can be academically interesting... any ideas?

1. All in one framework vs. pick and choose components.
2. Advanced programming techniques available to inexperienced programmers: good or bad?
3. Active Record - is this type of abstraction the future of database interaction?

That's more like a one paragraph explanation. You can't prove something to be at enterprise level if there are no hard-set limits and expectations on what exactly "enterprise level" is. I would more suggest a thesis on trying to determine WTF enterprise level is and what the requirements are for it.

It's like asking:
Me: "Is the car fast enough?"
Dealer: "For what?"
Me: "Driving fast."
Dealer: "Well, how fast are you looking to go?"
Me: "Fast enough."
Dealer: "Do you have any numbers?"
Me: "No, but I know that the Porche 911 is fast enough."
Dealer: "Well, this car has a higher maximum speed than the Porche 911 on certain roadways"
Me: "Yeah, but I don't know what road I'm driving on. I want to know if it's fast enough"
